It is early yet for cucumbers for us, Juli. I don't think I got mine planted until the third week of June last year. Late, but germination was excellent and they grew really fast, so don't give up on them quite yet. Smiling I missed the spring lettuce window, so I'll wait to plant for a fall crop now.

I seeded two kinds of cucumbers and three types of summer squash today. Hurray! Costata Romanesco was so good last year that I planted two hills of it. Hilarious! I'll likely have plenty of squash! I'm also trying a container squash this year called Astia. And of course my fail-safe, Black Beauty.

I also cleared out an area for Banana Melon. I missed it last year!

Egyptian Walking Onions look great in the rose garden. I haven't harvested any yet, but maybe I should check them soon. Shrug!

My extra horse manure compost piles are growing grass now, so they're likely ready to be planted with anything I run out of room for in the garden proper Big Grin ...like pumpkins, spaghetti squash and maybe a bit of yellow crookneck. It's been a couple of years since I grew those.

My Pet Project peas are about 2 feet tall now!

Beans are next on my list.
